I love the style. However, I feel the updo part of the curls might need to be fluffed a little bit. They just seem very horizontal on top of the veil comb. Maybe the comb needs to be hidden more or the curls need to get less squished. Do you know what I'm talking about? Whatev, I'm crazy.

thank you all. the curls at the top are what I am having a issue with. We are trying to figure out a way to hide the comb. I would rather the curls be loose than pined up. Any suggestions on how to pull that off?

Thanks everyone for the kind words and good advice. I love how it turned out. My friend is the one that is doing it for me. She is great. I sometimes over analyze things and second guess them. I know that it will all work out in the end. I think it will look great once I have my makeup and dress on.

I (personally) think the hair with the veil tucked under (the brunette pic that ms. ricka posted) looks weird --- it's like the veil is hair extensions or something, just doesn't flow as well as having the veil under the top curls. I think if maybe the top curls didn't all get pinned to the side, more like if the curl loops were pinned under (so the curl goes verticle) that it might cover more of the hair clip/comb and mask that a little better. Or if the curls were just a little looser/larger, they might naturally go over the clip/comb then and cover up the top part.The veil is pretty, so if you can have your friend just loosen those up top it will work great! I think looser curls on top would also flow better with the rest of 'do since the bottom curls are more "waves" than tight curls....IMO(I hope that makes some sense, my descriptions don't always translate!)
